These meatballs are bright, savory, and deeply satisfying — the kind of weeknight dinner that tastes like it took way more effort than it did. Fresh ginger and garlic do the heavy lifting on flavor, while coconut aminos add a subtle umami depth that makes the whole thing feel restaurant-worthy. For anyone navigating a celery-free lifestyle, the ingredient list here is refreshingly clean — no hidden stalks, no celery seed lurking in a spice blend, just straightforward pantry staples you can feel confident about. The broth sauce is the real secret weapon: a silky, gingery glaze that thickens right in the pan and coats every meatball beautifully. Searing them first in coconut oil builds a golden crust that holds up when you pour the sauce in and let everything simmer together. A scatter of fresh scallion greens at the end adds a little pop of color and a mild oniony bite that ties the whole dish together. Serve them straight from the skillet over rice, noodles, or whatever you have on hand — they disappear fast.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, scallion whites, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, minced garlic, 2 tbsp coconut aminos, arrowroot starch, salt, turmeric, and ground ginger. Mix with your hands until just combined — the mixture should hold together when pressed but not be overworked.
Roll the mixture into balls about 1½ inches in diameter (roughly 18–20 meatballs), placing them on a plate as you go.
